Ms. Carol Dumaine is one of a very small number of individuals who have sought to pursue what Gifford Pinchot calls “intrapreneurship,” but on a global scale.

She first came to international attention when she pioneered Global Futures Partnership, an analytic endeavor seeking to enhance outreach and cross-fertilization across varied communities of practice.

She received the following recognition from the emergent M4IS2 community in 2002:

Global Futures Partnership, Central Intelligence Agency
OSS '02: 21st Century Emerging Leadership Award. Global Futures Partnership, Central Intelligence Agency. Under the leadership of Carol Dumaine with her extraordinary vision, the Global Futures Partnership has created strategic learning forums bringing the rich perspectives of the outside world into the classified environment in a manner never before attempted. This official but revolutionary endeavor nurtures an outside-in channel for integrating a diversity of perspectives. It is a vanguard toward a future in which the lines between national and global intelligence, and between governmental and nongovernmental intelligence, are blurred into extinction.

She is interested in the areas of “knowledge ecosystems,” “ecologies of innovation,” and “collective intelligence” for applicable models, practices and theories which may be useful to prototyping a new capacity for “strategic intelligence” in energy and environmental security.

Carol Dumaine is a graduate of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and has a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies.

NIGHTWATCH Extract: China, World, Global Military Reach

China-The World: For the record. China's armed forces are ready to expand communication and cooperation with their counterparts worldwide to promote global peace, a senior officer with the Chinese Defense Ministry said. International military exchanges enhance mutual understanding and peace awareness among all troops across the globe and advance world peace, the officer said.

NIGHTWATCH Comment: The statements and the tone echo the American strategic vision of the post-war era, but with a more modern Chinese update of the US strategic path.

NIGHTWATCH KGS Home

Phi Beta Iota: China is now entering the third phase of its global outreach program.  The first phase, up to the 1980's, was primarily a human endeavor, leveraging all manner of human associations through Friendship, Fishery, and other professional and social alliances.  The second phase, now at full bore, is the construction and resource phase, in which Chinese engineers, donated buildings and equipment, and all that goes with massive rail, road, and port projects are used to capture countries and their resources in a de facto manner–the Chinese are going for tangible capture rather than the now collapsing financial capture of the West.  This new global reach of the military is the third phase, which should be seen as a “tri-maran,” that has cyber-penetration and exploitation and denial on the left, and covert operations including a massive number of illegals in long-term dormancy on the right.
